Is MSAA info even accessible on the Mac?

Could it be possible, if we know what we're looking for, to find the MSAA
information in a Flash object? It could give us the names and locations
relative to the Flash window from which we could easily calculate the raw
screen coordinates and provide a crufty facility for users to click buttons and
such.

I don't know how much access the Flash object gives to external scripts so you
might hit similar roadblocks in Applescript. You can probably get general infor
about the entire flash object (height, width etc) but being able to trigger
internal actionscripts probably requires some glue code inside the flash object.

Yep, there's got to be a callback between js and flash, and i don't know which
part of the api is set to open on a per publication basis.
I'm wondering if there isn't a way to access it differently, as in js firs
extracting the labels, and calling applescript's OSAX which is the extended
suite of commands, which then move the mouse cursor to the label called by js,
then the user clicks. It's a bit GUI scripting, but that method might work
since the mouse cursor can access flash buttons without the use of voice over,
which in this method is just an external call inherent to the system.
I might get my devver to check this out when he's got time. I myself don't have
time right now.
